Describe the issue/error/question
I am new with n8n, and am creating a custom node for some external API requests. I have a custom, programmatically typed node with the following file structure:
package.json --> Root package.json with "n8n" credentials and nodes object
/nodes
NODENAME.node.ts
NODENAME.node.json
NODENAME.png --> logo
/credentials
NODENAME.credentials.ts
gulpfile.js
tsconfig.json
The file structure gets transpiled to Javascript. But I don’t know how to import this node into ~/.n8n. npm link does not work (?), because the node is a package in a monorepo. Below is the transpiled javascript code:
/nodes
NODENAME.node.d.ts
NODENAME.node.js
NODENAME.node.js.map
NODENAME.node.json
NODENAME.png
/credentials
NODENAME.credentials.d.ts
NODENAME.credentials.js
NODENAME.credentials.js.map
package.json
What is the error message (if any)?
The custom node doesn’t show up in the n8n editor. I want to test locally with the npm version of n8n. Does anyone have any tips on how to improve the code / folder structure? And how to import this code inside n8n (with or without using npm link). This code will eventually get used in a production environment inside Docker. Any tips are more than welcome!
Thank you very much.
